Investigators have told Channel 2 TV news that there is evidence to corroborate suspicions of money laundering against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. A court lifted a gag order Wednesday evening which had prohibited the publication of this and additional information in the case.
In addition, police reportedly suspect that some of the money that businessman Moshe Talansky is suspected of giving Olmert funded Olmert's private trips abroad. The information was found in disks from a computer used by Shula Zaken, Olmert's longtime bureau chief, which recorded the transfer of funds from Talansky in detail.
